I'm not sure that I have EVER anyone's post (that at least has a sliver of credibility) that suggested that even high time airlines pilots are immune to making mistakes

PS - the question above already has a statistical answer that most on this forum will know.
But we all know about statistics right?
Are you statistically talking of airline or general aviation? If you are speaking of GA errors than your numbers are skewed because there is much larger pool of sub 2500 hour pilots than above. That would result in a higher
number of mistakes, but not necessary a higher average of mistakes on a one to one basis.
